Put no trust in a friend;
    have no confidence in a loved one;
guard the doors of your mouth
    from her who lies in your embrace,
for the son treats the father with contempt,
    the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
    your enemies are members of your own household.(A)

Do not trust a neighbor;
    put no confidence in a friend.(A)
Even with the woman who lies in your embrace
    guard the words of your lips.
For a son dishonors his father,
    a daughter rises up against her mother,(B)
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
    a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.(C)
